Le dessin du Victoria est joli avec de l’eau qui le rend difficile sur certains trous. On sent que l’architecte Arnold Palmer a profondément modifié la topographie pour réaliser son projet. Tout est généreusement dimensionné : le désir d’exclusivité se traduit dans les tarifs. Quant au club house il est aussi imposant. Le peu de clients lors de mon passage était accentué par la dimension de l’édifice. Le driving range est agréable et proche du tee no 1.

J’avais joué Boavista il y a plusieurs années. Depuis il a été modifié pour permettre la construction de maisons qui en deviennent parfois gênantes. Si le club house est imposant, le driving range est l’un des plus incongrus que je connaisse. Taper des bois n’est autorisé que depuis un poste entouré de filets. La balle est d’ailleurs arrêtée par un filet frontal. Le tout est vraisemblablement destiné à éviter que les balles touchent les maisons à proximité. Arriver à de telles extrémités prouve que le golf n’est plus qu’un alibi pour développer de l’immobilier. Passer d’un trou à l’autre demande un parcours à travers les constructions si bien que la voiturette est bienvenue. Il y a plusieurs trous à l’aveugle.

Espiche est situé dans une région faite de collines. Il n’y a pas de construction à proximité. Le paysage est magnifique parfois entrecoupé par la silhouette élancée d’éoliennes. Certains fairways de ce parcours sont traversés par des murets en pierres. Comme les fairways sont bordés, sans rough, de broussailles même de bons coups peuvent se terminer par une balle perdue. En mars les fairways 2019 étaient très durs si bien que certaines balles pouvaient, à la descente, rouler sur des dizaines de mètres. La voiturette est bienvenue. Ce parcours n’est pas adapté aux débutants. Le club house est sympathique, mais la cuisine ferme avant le coucher du soleil.

Our holiday was very nice. Apartment was very nice and enough space for 6 people.Courses were good and in good condition.The place it self was good but suits only for golf holiday as we had.
All run very well and as agreed, no problems at all. The weather wasn´t so nice but maybe on next trip.
Thank you very much

It was an excellent week for us in your beautiful Country. Everything worked out just perfect, thank to you.
Excellent hotel, excellent service, nice golf courses with Oitavos Dunes as the better one.
Excellent service and food!

Thank you for setting it all up and fix everything for us.
We are looking forward to come back and will of course give you the notice.

5 out of 5 stars from all of us!

Thank you!!

As expected, your arrangement for our golf holidays were wonderful and perfect.
Hotel Anantara Villamoura was fantastic and we felt it is a real 5 star one. We were given rooms with golf view and we could enjoy afternoon sunshine at the balcony.
The best thing among others was breakfast buffet with full of fresh food and very kind serving staffs. We enjoyed breakfast every morning.
We had dinner at EMO restaurant one night and the food was so tasty and the service staffs were very kind.
One flaw among good feelings was not most restaurants were open as the season was not peak time.

Victoria golf course was very nice and well maintained. The layouts were very good and we really enjoyed our first round of golf in Portugal. It was a good start.
The Old Course was fun and tricky as lots of trees blocked our shots, thus we had an interesting and good time as well.
Millennium course was a little bit disappointing as the first two courses were too good.

Most of all, I really enjoyed this golf trips to Portugal with your support and help.

Once again I thank you

As expected, your arrangement for our golf holidays were wonderful and perfect. Marriott Praia d´el Rey was a good hotel and we could see many groups of people with golf bags.
We were given rooms with ocean view with balcony and could enjoy very nice ocean view in the room. I was very satisfied with the room allocated.
Here again, not many restaurants were open due to low season. We used our rental car to play golf games in this area and find restaurants around the area.
The lounge was crowded all the time as many golfers visited this good places and the breakfast was reasonably good and crowded as well.

Next we played at Royal Obidos and we enjoyed the golf game there as we had a bad time at Campo Real. Royal Obidos was very nice and I would recommend to anyone should play there.
Next we played at West Cliffs and it was a link course. I felt like I was in far north of Scotland, some seashore. The course was really difficult and tough and also windy. We couldn't really enjoyed the game.
Lastly, we played Praia d´el Rey and we like the course but it was very windy and we gave up a betting each other. We just simply play the course.

Most of all, I really enjoyed this golf trips to Portugal with your support and help.

Once again I thank you

We had some nice days with lovely weather, golf and a couple of evenings with our granddaughter.
We were very pleased with our stay at Hotel Quinta da Marinha Resort. Everyone in the staff was very nice.
We were well taken care of by the reception staff, the breakfast staff, the caretaker service and those responsible for the transport service.
We were also pleased with the villa and the cleaners there did a nice job.

Finally, nice golf course and nice service. In summary, we were very pleased with the stay.

Das war ein super Golf-Wochenende im Quinta da Marinha Resort und wir möchten uns bei euch für das hervorragende Management der Reise bedanken.
Das lief von Anfang an sehr gut in der Kommuniaktion und den gelieferten Informationen. Auch die Vermittlung mit den beiden Leihschlägersätzen war sehr gut und die Qualität der TaylorMade-Sätze war einwandfrei !
Also - herzlichen Dank für alles und wir werden sicherlich wieder voneinander hören.
